India and South Africa match at the 2015 Cricket World Cup has kicked off, and the men in blue will be hoping it's time for a reversal in fortunes against the Proteas.

MS Dhoni and his men are batting first and they will be up against the fact India have never beaten South Africa in the ICC Cricket World Cup. You can use social media or apps to track the latest updates from the match, but there's nothing like watching live video. Most will be spending the Sunday in front of their television sets at home watching the big match live, but if you're stuck in office or just don't have a TV, you can still watch India vs South Africa and other Cricket World Cup games live online.

Star Sports has the broadcast rights for the World Cup, and its website and apps have live streaming as well. Whether you're a fan in India or around the world though, we've got you covered.

Read on to see how you can watch the 2015 Cricket World Cup matches live, from around the world.

In India
All world cup matches will be broadcast on the Star Sports channels on TV. If you don't have a TV or if Star Sports channels aren't available, you can try watching games online via one of the various methods.

Starsports.com
The official website of Star Sports lets you watch ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 matches live online - for a small subscription. Follow these steps to start watching.

    1. Go to the Star Sports subscription webpage.

      You will see details of the subscription. You can watch 53 ODIs live online for Rs. 120. This is valid only on starsports.com and not on any of its apps. You can watch games through a Web browser on any device.

        2. Click Buy Now to register and pay.

          3. Once you've done that, you can watch games live by going to the Star Sports website and clicking Login on the top-right.

            This subscription is valid in India only, though the website offers different packages in other selected regions. According to Star Sports, live streaming will be available on startsports.com in territories that do not have a television broadcast of the ICC World Cup 2015. In other countries, the digital channels of official broadcasters will carry the streams (see below).

            Download the Star Sports app for Android or iOS.

            If you are a Tata Sky subscriber, you can use its iOS and Android apps to watch Star Sports on your phone. You need to pay Rs. 60 per month to be able to watch all channels you've subscribed to online, and there's no extra charge for Star's channels.

            Outside India
            Star Sports' apps have an FAQ section which states that live feed for the World Cup is available for several countries other than India (see image below). So you can try downloading the app and watch matches live available online. You may have to purchase a subscription as described above. This covers most non-cricketing nations, along with countries in the Indian subcontinent except Pakistan.
